Neither of these modules exists, nor did they exist in Linux 3.2. Could be your own configuration error or a bug in the dmraid hook (*not* initramfs-tools itself).

But I suspect that the boot failure probably has nothing at all to do with this configuration error; see bug #678696. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings This sentence contradicts itself - no actually it doesn't.
